How do you calculate percent?

Answer by  anrimala36 (208)

If you are using a fraction, write part/whole * 100 to obtain your percentage. For example, if you ate 4/5 of a pie, the percentage is 4/5*100=80%. If you have a decimal and you want to convert it to percentage, multiply the decimal by 100. For example, you ate 0.8 of the pie, so the percentage is 0.8*100=80%.

If you want to calculate the percentage of something, you will have to figure out the amount of that thing you have and the total amount you want to calculate it as a percentage of. Then divide the first amount by the second.
